Bible Journaling: 1 Samuel 1

Hey all!! Hope all is well with you! Been a busy month here with March break. So I have a few bible journaling pages to share with you to update you on my progress with that!!
I had a bump in the road... my heat gin died!! GASP!! I know!! So there was a 2 week stretch where I could not create! It was tough, but I made it thru and have a nice pretty new one here now!
So, here we go... here are my latest creations!!
My page is created based on 1 Samuel 1. (I used the challenge from this website... it has monthly challenge prompts!! www.rebekahrjones.com/bible-art-journaling-challenge) It is the story of Hannah and how she wept before the Lord, praying for a child. In verse 19 we see that "the Lord Remembered her..."... this spoke to me... reminded me that no matter what we are going thru... no matter how small it may seem, if we bring to to the Lord, He will hear us...
 I really enjoyed creating this page... I was trying to keep it more to the margin... but it spilled over... I guess that's just how I roll, can't color in the lines! LOL!


 I really enjoyed creating this page... I was trying to keep it more to the margin... but it spilled over... I guess that's just how I roll, can't color in the lines! LOL! I loved this banner stamp from the Celebra'tions collection from Spellbinders. I stamped it with Jet Black Staz-on ink from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko. I think I need to re-ink my inked, because it didn't stamp as crisp as I wanted. So I took my black pen and filled in some of the blotchy spots.
Then I took this fun floral stamp (Dylusions) and stamped in the 3 colors of stickers that I was using... I used Staz on ink for that as well... these colors coordinated with the watercoloring I did next. I really like how the colors matched so well!! Score!! Then I added the alpha stickers inside of the banner... they fit pretty good, but I had to overlap some in the word Remember...
And lastly I added my journaling and a touch of stencilling.  Oh, and a little gem to the centre of each flower! Which you probably can't notice in the photos...

Here is a peek at some of the products that I used in this project...  I didn't show the stamps or stencils in here... sorry!! :(

And that's the page for today!! I have a couple more to share... but I'll pace myself... :) I have a video fro one that is waiting for me to get time to edit it... we shall see... :)
Thanks for stopping by! Until next time... Happy Creating!!
ps..  I have some fun creative news to share soon as well..... :)
